The recording is now available to watch: Doctorate in Education Speaker - Dr Katrina Lloyd, Programme Director Click here to watch the recorded webinar This Professional Doctorate (EdD) provides an alternative route to the current PhD for mid-career and senior professionals in mainstream education and related disciplines in Northern Ireland and further afield.
On successful completion, students will have made an original and independent contribution to educational knowledge in the field determined by the topic of their research dissertation study.
They will demonstrate a critical evaluation of the relevant literature, a high level of competence in appropriate research methods, and the ability to communicate the results and their implications. We undertake a wide range of research that falls within two broad themes: pedagogy, learning and curriculum; and human rights, equality and social cohesion in education. Underpinning all of our research is a commitment to achieving a real impact in the lives of educators and learners.
